Product Description
Also known as the Fuji Cherry, this gorgeous, compact shrub will burst into flower before the leaves appear in late winter / early spring each year.
They start as red buds which appear to almost dance around the branches, but then open to reveal beautiful pale-pink flowers, each with a red centre. Perfect for small garden or growing in a pot on your patio, Kojo-No-Mai even provides autumn interest when its green leaves turn from green to bright reddish / orange before falling. The statuesque form of the tree is also a joy to observe on frosty mornings when a haw-frost shows it off to its very best.
Kojo-No-Mai is fully winter hardy whatever the weather and grows to just 250cm after 10 years if left un-pruned, but will be happy to receive a regular trim during early summer after flowering has finished.

Care Guide
- Dig a square hole as deep as the roots and approximately 1.5x as wide.
- Add Mycorrhizal fungi to the planting hole to help the plant establish quicker.
- Spread the roots gently and place into the planting hole.
- Mix well rotted compost or manure with the soil taken from the hole and then use to backfill around the tree.
- Keep well-watered until established.
- Keep the area free of competing weeds and protect the tree with a rabbit guard if necessary to protect your young cherry tree.
- Pruning your tree is not usually necessary unless you need to remove damaged or broken branches.
